Britney Spears Files for Divorce

Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.

As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.

Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."

Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.

What's the male equivalent of "skank." Federline is much worse than Britney.

Skonk? Skunk? I've no idea!

What I do know is that I have never heard of this "man".

Could it be that the skanky shenannigans you suggest are compensating for whore-fame?

She finally realized how much of a loser he is?

Does she realize how much of a loser she is?

Excellent translation of current event with pop culture. A plus!

Can Britney spell republican?

[newzjunkey]

It's her second marriage. The first was a Vegas quickie which was annulled almost before the ink was dry.

Hard to believe any woman in her right mind would get rid of K-Fed.

[Sax]

She finally got K-Fed up with the scruffy little remora.

[Dianna]

Oops she did it again.

[Lee'sGhost]

I think dipshit works pretty well in this case.

Looks like Britney may still have a case of the chubbies.

Must be contagious, 'cuz she gave me one as well...

[Red Boots]

So I guess the lawsuit is to decide who retains custody of the half-brain they share as community property?

LOL !

[subterfuge]

I never saw this coming (giggle).

How long did it last? Company had pool bets going on how long it would last.

[Alberta's Child]

Wow. Shows you how inconsequential some people are to me . . . I thought she was like 16 years old or something. LOL.

Federline: (v.) the act of trapping a spouse, typically for financial reasons, by pregnancy, initiated by either gender/party. In use, "She tried to Federline me!" (n.) a bum.

Slick Willie?

Thank you!

If I dredge my memory, I thought she was married to someone Timberland.
